Location

In Glendora Park in North York.

Participants

Expedition

Higgs is visiting Toronto, and this easy geohash looked like a nice opportunity for a walk. We took the St. Clair streetcar to St. Clair station and then Line 1 north to Sheppard-Yonge station. From there it was a short walk east along Sheppard to a nice path that took us directly to Glendora Park, where the hashpoint is. As it was raining, we didn't hang out for too long. Our shoes were getting muddy!

Afterwards we walked north along the same path to Lee Lifeson Art Park, a park dedicated to the two Rush members who grew up in North York. From there it was a short walk west to Yonge street and we stopped to eat in a restaurant that had some pretty good vegan shawarma.

This hashpoint was fairly close to 2019-06-23 43 -79, a previous expedition of mine.
